Smelly Woman

”Have you ever smelled a geranium?”

”We call our geraniums Khadoug Kanza. That means ‘smelly woman.’ When you meet a woman and she is dressed beautifully, neat and clean and all made up and then you visit her in her home and it is a terrible mess... Well then we call her Khadoug Kanza.”

“It was the French, you know, who brought the geranium to our country - definitely not my favorite flower.”
